Didn't she also make movies (or photographs) of tribes in Africa? I seem to remember that she returned repeatedly to one tribe in particular. --AxelBoldt


Yes heard today on radio she filmed the Nubas in Africa.

Film and photos, yes. She published a book about them; the funding for the film was cut. --KQ

It seems that many biographical entiries refer "Der Heilige Berg" as her first movie performance.

Britannica seems to suggest that it is "Peak of Destiny," which I think is incorrect. I've sometimes read that Peak of Destiny is the piece that captured Leni's attention to movies, and she talked to Arnold Franck eventually. And the piece is released in 1925.

Now, Imdb says, along with this article, Tragödie im Hause Habsburg (1924) is the first. That is even before she saw "Peak.." I'm curious to know more about this particular piece and the role she played in it, if she did. Anyone has a pointer? Thanks. Tomos 04:31, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)
